100th Anniversary of the Titanic Disaster

I thought I’d be making a huge deal out of the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, but on the day itself, it just didn’t feel right. I think everybody felt the same way. Even in the media, the buildup was huge, but on April 15th itself, the fanfare was pretty muted.

Maybe that’s because we all remembered that what we’re “celebrating” was a terrible disaster that cost 1517 lives.

It’s a fascinating story – compelling, and definitely exciting. But it’s nothing we should be cheering about.
